snail bryopsis?

[criticalencore]

im just finishing my cycle so i picked a couple snails up to eat some of the diatoms.. i could barley see the algae yesterday on this one but came home to this today.... im going to pull it out and qtup it with peroxide but I dont really want to kill the snail... If its GHA im fine with it but if its bryopsis i will just have to feel bad for the snail... If a video will help ill shoot one real quick... Thanks

difficult to see the fern tips, but very likely its bryopsis as it seems thicker than regular GHA.

just use a brush to scrub the algae off of it out of the tank, ideally in a bowl of tank water- then dispose of the water and place snail back in tank.

Yeah I'll get one in a couple minutes. It's not on my rock though just this 1 new snail. I brushed it off for now but was going to maybe qtip it with peroxide. It grew a half inch or so in the lastvl 24 hrs
